Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mash the chickpeas in a medium bowl using a potato masher or fork until mostly broken down, leaving a few chunks for texture.15 ounces can chickpeas
- Add the red onion and oats to the mashed chickpeas and mix well. Stir in the garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Continue mashing until the mixture holds together and becomes sticky. Tip: If the mixture feels too dry or crumbly, add a teaspoon or two of water until it binds.½ cup red onion, ½ cup oats, 2 cloves garlic, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, Salt and pepper
- Shape the mixture into four equal-sized patties and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then carefully flip the patties and bake for another 15 minutes, or until golden and slightly crisp on the outside.
- Assemble the burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, mustard, and fresh cilantro.4 buns, Tomato, Lettuce, Mustard, Cilantro
- Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade chickpea burgers!
Notes
- Mashing: A potato masher works best, but a sturdy fork will do the job. You can also pulse it in a food processor. Either way, don’t overdo it—you want some texture.
- Moisture: If the mixture feels too dry, a splash of water helps. Too wet? Add a few extra oats.
- Make ahead: You can shape the patties ahead of time and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before baking.
- Pan fry: Want them extra crispy? Pan fry in a bit of olive oil over medium heat for 3–4 minutes per side instead of baking.
- Customize the flavor: Add cumin, paprika, sun-dried tomatoes, or fresh parsley if you want to change things up.
- Gluten free: To ensure these are gluten-free, make sure to use certified gluten-free oats and use gluten-free buns or serve them without a traditional bun.
Storage and Reheating Instructions
- Fridge: Let them cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Freeze: For longer storage, freeze the cooked patties with parchment paper between each one. They'll keep for up to 3 months.
- Reheat: Reheat in the oven, toaster oven, or on a pan over medium heat until warmed through and slightly crisp again—no sogginess here.
